Carbon Particle Inclusions in SiC Single Crystals Prepared by Sublimation,

Abstract

Several experiments were performed to clarify the process of carbon particle inclusion in crystals grown by Lely's sublimation procedure. Special attention was paid to the effect of the cavity wall, recrystallization temperature, and the increasing heating rate. It was found, using the technique of dark field photomicrography, that the density of the inclusions in the crystals often showed certain orientation and zonal structure. These features are explained by the microscopic temperature distribution and temperature fluctuation in a crystal. From the relation between the observed results and growth conditions, it was concluded that the phenomenon is attributed primarily to the shifting of the vapor phase composition in the growth cavity to the carbon side from the equilibrium condition.
